ABSTRACT
Pile integrity testing evaluates foundation quality, critical for transport infrastructure like Kazakhstan’s light rail project. This study uses cross-hole sonic logging to assess concrete piles with steel reinforcement (two diameters). Testing followed TB10218-2008/ASTM D6760 standards, measuring first arrival time (FAT) and amplitude after concrete reached 70% design strength (≥15 MPa). Data from three tube pairs identified defect zones via FAT increases (>20% vs. normal concrete). Results aid geotechnical assessment of pile integrity in urban infrastructure.
